Interface QualifierBatchFormList

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidList

public interface QualifierBatchFormList
extends OsidList

Like all OsidLists, QualifierBatchFormList provides a means for accessing QualifierBatchForm elements sequentially either one at a time or many at a time. Examples:

       
       
       while (qbfl.hasNext()) {
            QualifierBatchForm form = qbfl.getNextQualifierBatchForm();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (qbfl.hasNext()) {
            QualifierBatchForm[] forms = qbfl.getNextQualifierBatchForms(qbfl.available());
       }
